Hello,

For functions such as print string and print number there is a font parameter as part of the Flowcode component macro call.

0 - Normal font
1 - Double width
2 - Double height and width
3 - Double height

The component help file details the parameters and returns from each of the component macro functions.

Making the fonts larger will require a bit of code customisation. I can tell you how to do this but first please can you create a topic in the v4 section of the forums.

Unfortunately the Student version only contains limited components (LED, LED array, Switch, Switchbank, ADC, LCD, 7-segment
display, Keypad, Quad 7-segment display, and PWM.)

The main differences between the Student/Home and Professional can be found in the data sheet for Flowcode, on page 8.
